Despite its common name, it is not a true oregano but belongs to the mint family. Its succulent leaves are highly fragrant and are widely used in Caribbean, Indian, Southeast Asian, and Latin American cuisine. This herb thrives in well-drained soil and warm, sunny conditions, requiring moderate watering while allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. In Canadian climates, Cuban Oregano is typically grown as an annual or as a houseplant and should be brought indoors before frost. It also makes an attractive addition to patio containers, hanging baskets, and windowsill herb gardens due to its ornamental foliage and easy-care nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Scott's Nursery Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"3.5\" Pot","offer_id":47253274722441,"sku":"G14272","price":5.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/3576\/1033\/files\/G14272OreganoCubanCU_3934e061-b7cd-4495-bf17-efbb81e89422.jpg?v=1783793896","url":"https:\/\/www.scottsnurseryonline.com\/products\/oregano-cuban","provider":"Scott's Nursery Ltd.
